Re: Calling all Ravens fans from 1996 onward
All good info and thank you to those who participated. Sorry for the seemingly odd/random groupings of players but there is a point to it. Looking at stats only tells you so much. Expect the full list within the next week or so.

Re: Calling all Ravens fans from 1996 onward
The most important thing to know is that Edwin Mulitalo was very good. JO and Big Ed were like a wall on the left side of the line. You won't see stats on that since we're talking o-lineman. That's what allowed Jamal Lewis to carry the offense in 2000 to win a Super Bowl. Edwin Mulitalo needs to be given more credit than he has been over the years.

Re: Calling all Ravens fans from 1996 onward
One other thing about Edwin Multitalo is that he is tremendous person. When he was in Baltimore he was upset to learn that music programs were being cut out of public schools due to budget. Music and dance very important in the Samoan culture. He started a charity called Big Ed's Band that bought instruments for public schools so that music programs didn't go away. Ed understood that as a Raven he had a responsibility to the community and he embraced it. This was a model NFL player and should never be forgotten.

Re: Calling all Ravens fans from 1996 onward
TE:
Quinn Sypniewski -1
Terry Jones -2
OT:
Jared Gaither -1
Ricky Wagner -2
Tony Pashos -3
Gaither was very good when "healthy" and he wanted to play
ILB:
Jamie Sharper -2
CJ Mosley -1
Tavares Gooden -3
Patrick Queen -4
Jaimie Sharper didn't play ILB for the Ravens, he was an OLB. One the Texans got him in the expansion draft they moved him inside
G/C:
Edwin Mulitalo -1
Jason Brown -2
Ryan Jensen -3
Jeff Mitchell -5
Bradley Bozeman -4
It was tough to decide between Brown and Jensen
FB:
Kyle Juszczyk -2
Le’Ron McClain -1
Ovie Mughelli -3
another tough one between Juice and McClain, Juice was the better receiver, but not a very good blocker, but McClain could do it all, he had decent hand, could block, and could also carry the rock
DL:
Anthony Weaver -4
Timmy Jernigan -2
Justin Madubuike -3
Dwan Edwards -1
Chris Wormley -5
None of these guys were great as Ravens, but Madubuike shows signs that he could be very good and in a year or 2 could be at the top of this list
S:
Kim Herring -1
Tom Zbikowski -2
Matt Elam -3
Zibby wasnt very good at Safety but was great on ST, Elam was just bad!
CB:
Jimmy Smith -1
Lardarius Webb -2
Gary Baxter -4
Duane Starks -3
Deron Jenkins -5

Re: Calling all Ravens fans from 1996 onward
Be an interesting exercise, the Ravens all time team by peak season. A lot would probably be the same, Lamar, Reed, J and R Lewis, Suggs, but then I'm thinking of random one season wonder type guys like Trevor Pryce who had 13 sacks at 3-4 DE in 2006 or Dumervil who had 17 at OLB in 2014.

Re: Calling all Ravens fans from 1996 onward
Oh man the good old days when we had dominant pass rushers!
I am not saying get rid of wink at this point yet but if he ever does I wouldn't mind seeing a Rex Ryan led defense again.
It will never happen because I think he burned his bridges but would love to see a dominant rex ryan defense again. He was a good coordinator.
